Tested by VDE based on EN 60456:2016/A11:2020 with F6WV710P1E. Energy grade is according to EU 2019/2014. Spin efficiency – The 1400rpm spin left washing comparatively dry on the 30ºC cotton wash but it was wetter after the 40ºC mixed load.

For starters, there’s a sheet of tempered glass covering the concave dip in the door – an attractive addition that helps to minimise noise and ensures there’s one less place for dirt to gather. And while that door leads to a porthole that’s not much wider than average, it swings open further. This means that stuffing large items in and getting them out is less of a battle, and you can make the most of the drum’s 68l volume. As you’d expect, despite opening wider, there’s no annoying clash between the door and the detergent drawer. Prevent fabric damage with the brilliance of AI DD technology which automatically adjusts the wash motions on fabric characteristics If you are interested in buying the LG V9 F4V910BTSE Wifi connected 10.5kg washing machine, make sure you don’t pay over the odds. This washing machine is A-rated, which means it is the most energy-efficient class according to EU energy grades (A to G)**. How the machine washes is also of note – it features AI DD, which helps to protect fabric by optimising the cycle, steam to eliminate allergens and help ease out creases so there’s less ironing to do, and an inverter motor that has greater durability than a brushed one.To estimate yearly figures, I used the average number of washing machine loads in the UK (274 per year), and multiplied by three different load amounts (6kg for high, 4.5kg for medium and 3kg for low) to get a total amount of washing per year in kg.

Features and programmes – Programmes and options are generally clear to use and cover most common wash cycles. The LG F4V909BTS’s in-depth running costs were very low when I worked them out. Using the figures on the EU energy label, which assume 220 washes per year, I could calculate an average cost per wash, using average electricity and water costs.

The stain strip, from left to right, had red wine, vegetable oil, tomato sauce, orange juice and gravy, all left to dry into the fabric. After the cotton wash, there was a trace of ketchup and a halo of red wine but the other stains had been removed. Spend less time on laundry and more time on you with LG's TurboWash™ 360. A multi-directional pressure jet sprays water directly onto clothes, cutting the wash time to just 39 minutes. LG washing machines have a two-year guarantee as standard. Some washing machines qualify for extended five-year guarantee at no extra cost. While the EU energy label states the highest rating of A+++, the LG F4V909BTS is actually more efficient, so it’s no surprise that it performed well in both tests. A standard cotton wash at 30ºC used just 0.2kWh of power, although it consumed a much higher amount of water – 104.6l, presumably to facilitate functions such as steam. A 1400rpm spin managed to leave only 1.03kg of water in the load, around 38.2%. The washing machine’s energy label states that it has an A-rated spin cycle, and the low amount of water retained proves this. We introduced a new test for washing machines in September 2022. Because this is a model tested before these changes came into effect, the score won't be directly comparable with the scores achieved by models published after.
